Abstract
The invention relates to the use of a surface-treated calcium carbonate-containing material and/or a magnesium carbonate-containing material as an oxygen scavenger; wherein the surface treatment agent is selected from the group consisting of: ascorbic acid and/or salts thereof, gallic acid and/or salts thereof, unsaturated fatty acids and/or salts thereof, elemental iron, iron (II) salts and iron (II) oxides, iron (II, III) oxides and mixtures thereof; and wherein the total weight of the surface treatment agent on the total surface area of the at least one calcium carbonate-comprising material and/or magnesium carbonate-comprising material is from 0.01 to 40mg/m2, based on the at least one calcium carbonate-comprising material and/or magnesium carbonate-comprising material.
Description
The present application relates to the use of a surface-treated calcium carbonate-containing material and/or a magnesium carbonate-containing material as oxygen scavenger.
Various methods are known, such as frozen storage, refrigeration, vacuum packaging and packaging under an inert atmosphere, to reduce or prevent the formation and/or growth of oomycetes, bacteria and higher organisms such as insects which tend to disturb the preservation of food products. However, most oomycetes, bacteria and higher organisms require oxygen to develop and grow. Thus, one very suitable method of preventing mold and rot in food applications is to use oxygen scavengers or oxygen absorbers to absorb or "trap" oxygen in the environment (e.g., gaseous environment). For example, such oxygen scavengers are used in food applications, especially food packaging applications, to prevent mildew and rot of food products such as vegetables, fruits, meat and fish, cheese or processed foods such as bread and pastry, potato chips, peanuts or prepared meals.
Another application is in the cosmetic field. Cream, gel or essence, and cosmetic, powder, etc., and can be used for human body or skin. Many active substances incorporated therein can be destroyed by oxidation, and therefore, it is desirable to package and market these cosmetics so that relatively small amounts of oxygen come into contact with the active substances. This is possible if oxygen scavengers or oxygen absorbers are used in the cosmetic or cosmetic package to absorb or "trap" oxygen in the environment (e.g., gaseous environment).
Another application is the protection of packaged metal articles. One problem with metal articles is corrosion, which is the reaction of the metal with an oxidant, such as oxygen, resulting in electrochemical oxidation of the metal, also known as rusting in the case of iron. Therefore, it is desirable to package the metal articles with an oxygen scavenger or oxygen getter that absorbs or "traps" oxygen in the environment in order to prevent oxidation of the metal articles.
Various materials comprising oxygen scavenging or absorbing properties are known to the skilled person. For example, US 4,524,015 relates to a composition comprising at least one ascorbic acid compound selected from ascorbic acid, ascorbate salts and mixtures thereof, an alkali metal carbonate, an iron compound, carbon black and water. The particulate oxygen absorber is produced by mixing the compounds, for example in a granulator, and blending them.
EP 1916276 relates to a packaging material comprising a metal protection component comprising a volatile corrosion inhibitor, a desiccant and an oxygen scavenger. The oxygen scavenger may comprise a triazole, such as benzotriazole.

Examples
1 measurement method
In the following, the measurement method implemented in the embodiment will be described.
Susceptibility to moisture absorption
After exposure to an atmosphere of 10 and 85% relative humidity at a temperature of +23 ℃ (± 2 ℃) for 2.5 hours, respectively, the susceptibility to moisture absorption, in mg moisture/g, of the materials as referred to herein is determined. For this purpose, the sample was first kept at an atmosphere of 10% relative humidity for 2.5 hours, then the atmosphere was changed to 85% relative humidity, and the sample was kept at this relative humidity for 2.5 hours. The amount of moisture pick-up in mg moisture/sample g was then calculated using the weight gain at 10 and 85% relative humidity.
Dividing the susceptibility to moisture absorption in mg/g by m2The specific surface area in mg/g (calculated on the basis of the specific surface area BET) corresponds to the ratio in mg/sample m2Expressed as "normalized susceptibility to moisture absorption".
Solids content
The suspension solids content (also referred to as "dry weight") was determined using a moisture analyzer MJ33(Mettler-Toledo, Switzerland) with the following setup: drying temperature of 150 ℃, automatic shut-off if the mass does not vary more than 1mg within a period of 30 seconds, standard drying of 5 to 20g of suspension.
50Particle size distribution (diameter) of particulate material<Mass% of X particles) and weight median diameter (d)
The weight-median particle diameter and the particle diameter mass distribution of the particulate material are determined via sedimentation methods, i.e. analysis of the sedimentation behavior in a gravitational field. Using SedigraphTM5100 or SedigraphTM5120 the measurement is carried out.
The volume median particle diameter d of a particulate material, such as particulate powdered iron, is evaluated using a Malvern Mastersizer 2000Laser Diffraction System, Malvern Instruments plc, Great Britain, using Mie theory with a particle refractive index of 1.57 and an absorption index of 0.00550And particle diameter volume distribution. Alternatively, Sym may be usedMeasurements were performed with a HELOS particle size analyzer from patec, Germany. Assuming constant density throughout the particle size distribution, the measurement can be considered equal to the weight distribution, and reference is made to the measurement technique.
Methods and apparatus known to the skilled person are commonly used to determine the particle size of fillers and other particulate materials. In the presence of 0.1 weight-% Na4P2O7Is measured in an aqueous solution of (a). The sample was dispersed using a high speed stirrer and in the presence of ultrasound.
BET specific surface area of the Material
Throughout this document, the specific surface area (in m) of the mineral filler is determined using the BET method (using nitrogen as the adsorption gas) known to the skilled person (ISO 9277:2010)2In terms of/g). The total surface area of the mineral filler (in m) is then obtained by multiplying the specific surface area of the mineral filler before treatment by the mass (in g)2Meter).
Humidity of calcium carbonate
A10 g sample of the powder was heated in an oven at 150 ℃ until the mass was constant for 20 minutes. Mass loss has been determined gravimetrically and expressed as weight-% loss based on the initial sample mass. This mass loss is due to sample humidity.
Oxygen scavenging test
The oxygen scavenging test is performed by placing a certain amount of powder in a closed dryer equipped with an oxygen measuring device (GOX 100, GHM Messtechnik GmbH) and estimating the total amount of oxygen removed by the sample (or active substance) in grams, assuming that the gas obeys the ideal gas law and neglecting the volume occupied by the powder. Results are expressed as mL O2Powder g or mL O2Active substance g.
The calculation is performed using the following equation:
n(O2) N (gas) × 20.9/100
m(O2)=n(O2)×M(O2)
V(O2 dryer) V (dryer) × 20.9/100
Suppose R is 8.314 J.K-1·mol-1
T=295K
P=101 300Pa
M(O2)=32g.mol-1
O in air2%=20.9%
The values presented in the experimental part were calculated as follows:
